Sorry. I had to do it
Um, no. You can use a web browser to get RealPlayer video and to get a page full of nothing but plugins running--that doesn't make the plugin content web pages. The plugin content is sitting ON a web page, but the plugin media aren't the web page. Flash content isn't a web site and it's only as portable as Flash is. Considering how utterly abandoned the Maemo platform has been, you're increasingly unlikely to see web pages that host Flash content with the exception of your aforementioned (and utterly unwelcomed, in most cases--completely unnecessary, in all cases) Flash based advertisements.
